Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare - by Paul Tobin - A graphic novel based on the popular video game

4 of 5 Stars Review copy

Zombies, garden gnomes, time machines, and Citron (the world's first bionic orange).

Plants vs Zombies: Garden Warfare is a great way to entice kinds who are hooked on video games into reading. Colorful artwork, a fun story, and maybe a bridge to getting them to put down the controller for a few hours and read.

I love the idea, but a word to the wise, I found the Kindle version to be a bit of a strain on the eyes, with little flexibility to adjust the size of the image and subsequently the text.

Story by Paul Tobin who has written comics for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, and many others. Look for his debut novel, Prepare To Die!, coming soon.
